On Tuesday we finished the construction of the ramp. All that’s left is to put on an outdoor carpet runner so that the ramp won’t be slippery when it’s wet.
Yesterday was food for families day. We distributed 630 boxes of food. It is really a social event for many of the people that come, because they get to see and visit witho friends that they haven’t seen in a while. Several of the people who come to pick up food are members of the church we have been attending, so it’s more hugs and kisses from our friends from Asbury UMC.
There were more meetings going on this week, so there were no short term volunteers here. The folks meeting this time were from around the country. We even had a representative from the Pacific northwest conference here. Her name is Joan Hackett and is from Vancouver, WA.
Today I’ve been tying up some loose ends to leave things in order for the long term volunteer who will replace me. This will be my last entry from Sager Brown, but I will update the blog as we head home. We will be stopping at my brother’s in Casa Grande, AZ for a couple of days, then on the the Grand Canyon, then Las Vegas and then home. We should be back in Issaquah on Sept 8th.
